What factors are responsible for the formation of oceanic gyres?

A gyre in oceanography is any large system of rotating ocean currents, particularly those involved with large wind movements. Gyres are caused by the Coriolis Effect, planetary vorticity along with horizontal and vertical friction, which determine the circulation patterns from the wind curl.


What type of formation is a mid-oceanic ridge?

Its mostly a basaltic formation, caused as a result of ferromagnetic magmatic emergence at zones of seafloor spreading during oceanic-oceanic divergence.


What happens at a oceanic oceanic convergence?

At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.


What type of formation does Andres have?

oceanic-continental


What is oceanic oceanic collision?

Oceanic-oceanic collision occurs when two tectonic plates carrying oceanic lithosphere collide with each other. This collision often leads to the subduction of one plate beneath the other, resulting in the formation of volcanic island arcs and deep oceanic trenches. The collision can also lead to the formation of new oceanic crust through volcanic activity.


What results when divergence occurs in the oceanic lithosphere?

When divergence occurs in the oceanic lithosphere, it leads to the formation of mid-ocean ridges where new crust is created as magma rises from the mantle and solidifies. This process is responsible for the spreading of the ocean floor and the formation of new oceanic crust.


Where is the ocean to ocean plate convergent boundary located on earth?

Oceanic-oceanic convergent lead to the formation of Mariana Trench.


Which force is responsible for seafloor spreading?

Gravity in the oceanic crust is responsible for seafloor spreading.


The movement of these reshape the earth?

Tectonic plates are responsible for reshaping the earth's surface through movements such as subduction, spreading, and collision. These movements can result in the formation of mountains, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and oceanic trenches.


Which physical processes is most frequently responsible for changes in oceanic tides?

Gravity is most responsible for the changes =)

What is the difference between an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary and a oceanic-continental convergent boundary?

Oceanice oceanic has a trench, which is usually the deepest part of the ocean. It also has a volcanic island. That is how Islands are found in the center of oceans. oceanic convergent has similar features but do not have islands but instead volcanic arc on the continents.
